Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 55 with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) who score at least 18 on the MoCA test. It's not suitable for those with implanted devices, under 55, seizure risks, history of certain neurological issues, or sensitivity to light and sound.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with virtual reality cognitive training (iVCT) can improve cognition and mood in MCI patients more effectively than rTMS alone or no treatment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include discomfort from the magnetic stimulation like a mild headache or scalp sensations during rTMS. Virtual reality may cause motion sickness or nausea in some individuals.
